Romance Of Tiger And The Rose is a 2020 Chinese drama written by Nan Zhen and produced by Han Zhi Jie, Qi Shuai and Sun Zhong Huai. The actor cast include Zhao Lu Si, Ding Yu Xi, Zhou Zi Xin, Sheng Ying Hao and Liu Xin to name a few.
The scene opens in the town of Huayuan with an explanation of how life is lived and introduces the lead characters before cutting to a second, more modern scene of a girl sitting at a desk tapping on the keys of her laptop. She is revealed to be the screenwriter. She is shown doing some other things before she goes into continuous writing mode for days with little sleep until she exhausts herself and falls asleep into her story. From there shenanigans happen.
This series has something for everyone. If your looking for a laugh you will find plenty. There is romance, intrigue and wisdom along with what I can only describe as a case study in creative writing and character development.
This was an entertaining and fascinating series. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have added it to my growing list of favorite Chinese dramas. I highly recommend anyone reading this to give it a watch. It is available on YouTube and Viki (and maybe on iqiyi??).
